		<description><![CDATA[Just goes to show, backlit photos can be cool, but you have to be shooting in manual exposure mode for this to happen :) I finally got out today birding for a few hours and my only chance at a shot was this badly backlit adult swainson's hawk in-flight, so i had to take it! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These birds of prey represent a small portion of the photos I have taken of raptors. This collection shows mostly in-flight shots of different birds of prey including hawks, owls and falcons. All these photos are taken handheld and most photographed with the Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR lens]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With so many rough-legged (and other hawks and owls) hawk photos, I needed to shuffle some birds of prey  images into flickr. Its nice because I wont run out of server space there and I can start loading ALL my images. Will be uploading plenty more rough-legged hawks for this collection of the next few days. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[East of the city was a different world today, sunny and somewhat warm downtown, but an hour east in Alberta's prairies was a different story. Overcast and the wind was howling, hoar frost on everything, including all around this hawks face. The wind chill had to be -25c, the light was even but very flat, perfect conditions for photographing birds in flight...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not many rough-legged hawks around lately, we had a nasty cold snap last week, -30c or so and figure those cold temperatures may have pushed them further south. I did finally get out for some photo work yesterday and again late this afternoon. Originally looking for snowy owls to photograph, but instead found this awesome female juvenile rough-legged hawk. I did see 4 snowy owls over the last few days and two rough-legged hawks, one of the owls was a pure white adult male bird but I could not get close enough for photos.. I took over 200 photos of rough-legged hawks in the last few days and will post more photos ASAP...]]></description>

Marsh Hawks) led to these photos.  I have been by the location a few times since, and only once have seen them. Either the young harriers have fledged, or the coyotes got to them. Northern harriers are ground nesters [...]]]></description>

With cameras in hand fellow photog <a title="David Lilly Photography" href="http://www.davidlillyphotography.ca/">David Lilly</a> &#38; I scouted around south west of Calgary looking for anything interesting and hoping to see an early mountain blue bird. Still a little early for blue birds, but we found a few rough legged hawks including a light (pictured) and dark morph bird as well as few others hunting a stretch of dirt road south west of Calgary.]]></description>
